A TO Z APRIL CHALLENGE/RETO DE ABRIL DE LA A A LA Z

After some thinking on what to write with the letter A immediately I thought of one the most admired woman: AUDREY HEPBURN.

My mum has always been telling me how I reminded her to Audrey Hepburn. I wish I was something like her, but that's what my mum thinks. You know how mums are ;) It might be the way I put my hair sometimes, or the fact that I am also very thin and our shoulders look alike. I don't know. But my mum says that there is something that she cannot tell but I do remind her to Audrey Hepburn. But she says that is not just physical so it might be our determination.

It might be by the fact that for years my mum has been telling me this that I have always admire Audrey Hepburn. She has been an icon for me. She was a very talented woman. She looked fragile but with a great inner strength, and she had the ability of making the most of what she had. Her life wasn't always easy, by she grew into what she was thanks to that. She was a generous soul, and her charity work still endures today.
She worked for years for UNICEF, helping out as much as she could, even when she was very closed to her death.
He son Sean is the director of Audrey Hepburn Childhood Foundation, so her work still endures.
Who wouldn't want to be like her?

There are many quotes that she left and although I don't agree with everything, you can see that on top of being a beautiful and successful woman she was a very intelligent and wise person.

Here are some of my favorite quotes:

"I heard a definition once: Happiness is health and a short memory! I wish I'd invented it, because it is very true."

"I believe in pink. I believe that laughing is the best calorie burner. I believe in kissing, kissing a lot. I believe in being strong when everything seems to be going wrong. I believe that happy girls are the prettiest girls. I believe that tomorrow is another day and I believe in miracles."

"For beautiful eyes, look for the good in others; for beautiful lips, speak only words of kindness; and for poise, walk with the knowledge that you are never alone."

"I've been lucky. Opportunities don't often come along. So, when they do, you have to grab them."

"Nothing is impossible, the word itself says 'I'm possible"

"The beauty of a woman must be seen from in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides"

Hola Noemi! Thank you for the comment on my blog so I could find you and be on this journey together. Its exciting to meet someone else who is new to doing all this also. Your blog is beautiful, as is your words, and your work. I will be a follower and am excited to see what you do with this Challenge. This post was wonderful and I think what your mum saw was your spirit and beauty that reminded her of Adrey Hepburn. Have a blessed weekend.
